FICO Adds AI-Powered Authentication to Fight Fraud

FICO has acquired EZMCOM, an organization that protects users, data and applications from identity theft, account takeover, and breaches

The products secure the digital identity for more than 60 million people worldwide

They will be added to the FICO Platform as FICO® Identity Proofing and FICO® Authentication Suite

FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced that it is adding two new product families to its portfolio: FICO® Identity Proofing, which allows organizations to digitally onboard new customers without requiring in-person verification, and FICO® User Authentication, a comprehensive suite of capabilities including multifactor, biometric, and behavioral authentication. To support this effort, FICO has acquired EZMCOM, whose products are used by banks across the globe to protect more than 60 million customers.

With FICO Identity Proofing, organizations verify customers' identities by having them take selfies with their government-issued IDs. Within seconds, Identity Proofing verifies the ID's legitimacy, performs an AI-driven biometric analysis between the ID picture and the selfie, and performs liveness tests against the selfie to prevent spoofing.

FICO clients using the FICO® Falcon® Fraud Manager solution will be particularly interested in understanding the account takeover and strong customer authentication capabilities that these new solutions provide; they are strong additions to the flexible, AI-empowered capabilities FICO announced with its launch of FICO® Falcon® X at the Finovate conference in New York this September.
